Hello Nairalanders, I just learnt this now... Without waisting time lets get down to real business
So your fall fell inside a pool of water,, ow too bad, it can happen to anyone, do not panic just apply the following steps...

STEP 1: Take the phone out of the water immediately
STEP 2: Wipe the surface of the phone with a paper towel
STEP 3: If its an iphone, do not remove the battery, because doing that would void the warranty, after wiping the surface of the phone just place the phone in a bag of uncooked rice for 24 hours, it will absorb the water, bring it out afterwards and u can now switch on
If its not an iphone, ensure to remove the b3 and any oda detachable part of d fon before putting in a bag of uncooked rice...

Thanks!

using a bag of rice doesn't mean u would condemn the rice or even use a full bag of rice, u can just get a little quantity of rice, put it in an air tight bag or sack with your phone in it.
Do i need to dig the phone into the rice and make it invisible or should i just put the phone on it and cover the bag?

Sorry my response is coming late I've been busy. Just as cupsofxo has said, just get the amount of rice that is enough to cover your phone completely. I used to put mine in the rice sack in food store sha

Search this topic and you will see that I earlier on intimated the house about this on Nairaland Forum. The quantity of raw rice should just be enough to completely submerge the body of the affected phone.

Another good method is to clean it and put it with some sachets of silica gel in a zip lock bag, leave it over night.
Rice is equally a good desiccant.

wanna ask you a 'funny' technical question.
Are you an electrical engineer?

INTROVERT:
when ever I misplace my phone and find it after sometime I usually hide it and buy a new one cos historically whenever I loose my phone and find it it gets lost finally that same month.


nice one OP.

Put the phone in a bag of rice for 24 hours and after the 24 hours you should cook the rice and the phone and eat.
